Clipped to simulate fit...this beautify is a rare size to have survived all these years, and it absolutely slays.

Sturdy and presents well, despite minor cosmetic imperfections and signs of previous use. 75+ years old.

Some miscellaneous small stuff that gets overlooked in the big picture and busy print. One button's rhinestones has an amber age cast to it, there's age toning/pale streaking to the rear neckline and the designer label is yellowed, the ivory parts of print have some minor toning and a small amount of foxing here and there under close scrutiny, the "worst" as seen in close-ups. There's one pencil lead-sized hole low on rear skirt. Sold as-is; see all photos.
